4 OLE Automation

4.5 Building an Automation controller application

The complexity of an Automation controller depends on how many dispinterfaces it uses. This example first assumes a controller that uses the server's default dispinterface, or (equivalently) a server that implements only a single dispinterface. We will discuss the use of multiple dispinterfaces in Section 4.5.9 on page 181.

4.5.2 - Connecting to an Automation server application
4.5.3 - Getting Dispatch IDs for properties and dispatch methods
4.5.4 - Getting and setting the value of a dispatch property
4.5.5 - Calling dispatch methods
4.5.6 - Releasing the dispinterface
4.5.7 - Closing OLE Automation down
4.5.8 - Skeleton OLE Automation controller
4.5.9 - Controllers using more than one dispinterface
